Kristin began working with metal in college, where she took her first jewelry and metalsmithing courses. Immediately intrigued by the tactile beauty of the metal, and her ability to manipulate it, she went on to apprentice with a blacksmith, work with several jewelers and meanwhile developed her own independent studio.

She received her BFA from the University of Georgia and after a brief period working in Savannah, moved to New York City. For five years, she exhibited in galleries and shows in New York, worked in the advertising industry and attained her MA from New York University in Art Therapy, all the while still making jewelry.

Recently relocated to North Carolina, Kristin continues to design and create jewelry, with newfound time and space to devote exclusively to this endeavor. The work is simple and modern, predominantly in sterling silver with play on space, color & the tactile nature of the metal.
